How childhood trauma silently shapes your life — and how to heal it In this raw, unedited conversation, Stephen Young shares what it was like growing up around conflict, carrying emotional wounds in silence, and learning how to survive without ever being shown how to heal. We explore how childhood trauma doesn’t disappear with time — it quietly shapes your identity, emotional reactions, self-worth, and relationships, often running your life beneath the surface without your awareness. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with emotional triggers they can’t explain, or senses that unresolved childhood experiences are still influencing their present. In this episode, we explore: • How childhood trauma silently shapes adult behaviour • Why unresolved emotional wounds repeat in relationships • How to recognise triggers and unconscious emotional patterns • Practical tools for healing the inner child • Transforming pain into clarity, strength, and emotional freedom • Breaking generational cycles and building healthier relationships If you’re ready to face your past honestly and reclaim emotional stability, self-trust, and inner freedom, this episode is for you. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 – Stephen’s childhood and early emotional struggles 03:25 – Growing up around conflict and its long-term impact 06:50 – How early trauma shapes identity and behaviour 10:15 – Becoming aware of emotional wounds in adulthood 13:40 – Suppressed emotions and destructive patterns 17:05 – Understanding triggers and emotional reactions 20:15 – Healing the inner child and reclaiming self-worth 24:10 – Breaking generational cycles 28:30 – Building emotional awareness and resilience 32:55 – Lessons from Stephen’s personal transformation 37:20 – Final reflections for anyone on a healing journey |
